Android 2.2 on an old HTC Magic (32B)

grh — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 10:33:47 +0000

Because of the bad weather I tried to update my old HTC Magic phone to the new Android 2.2 today: I wanted to have the latest and greatest Android features . However, some tweaks were necessary to get a real nice performance. One has to go through long forum posts to optimize the system etc., therefore here is a short summary. (These tips might be also helpful on other old phones, like the G1)
But it's worth the hassle: now the HTC Magic feels like an expensive, recent Desire phone !

Alternative Suchmaschinen: nützliche Helfer neben Google

grh — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:15:41 +0000

Matrix Library Benchmark Follow-Up
